OF whom o. ~ the scant history was known,
that he was a Californian, and former CORE
spondent Of her husband. It was undeniabls
that the man was wealthy, and evidently no
mere adventurer; it was rumored that he was
courageous and manly; but oven those who
delighted in his odd humor were shocked at
his grammar and slang. It was said that
Mr.. Marvin had but one interview with his
father-in-law elect, and returned SO su-
premely disguised that the match was broken
of. The horse stealing story, more or less
garbled, found its way through lips that pre-
tended to dccry it, yet eagerly repeated it.
Only ono member Of the Rightbody family
and a new onc-saved them from utter o.
tracism. 1t was young Mr.. Ryder, the
adopted son of tie prospective head of tho
household, whose culture, name and gen.
cral elegance fascinated and thrilled Boston
with a new sensation. 1t seemed to many
that Miss Alice should, in tho vicinity Of this
rare exotic, forget her former enthusiasm for
a professional life; but the young man was
pitied by society, and various plans for di-
verting him from any mesalliance with tho
Rightbody family were concocted.
1t was q wintry night, and the second an
~niyersary of Mr.. Rightbody's death, that a
light was burning in his library. But the
dead mans chair was occupied by young Mr..
Ryder, adopted son of the new proprietor Of
the mansion; and before him stood Alice,
with her dark eyes fixed on the table.

"But you say he was college bred, and born
a gentleman, and in his youth he must have

Peculiarities of Razors.

BARRIERS declare that razors are even
more caprcious than tickle woman,
and gentlemen who shave themselves
recognize the individuality or idiosyn-
Grassy Of razorS. Some razors need a
rest after using, and no amount of
stopping will make them efficient
ualess they are humorcd, while others
viii be the better for constant use.
5 me razorS will be better if stropped
Immediately after using, others require
tie edge to be put on before applica-
ION. Many gentlemen who shave
themselves have SET Of razors-one
for each day in the week. The more
expensive the razor the more capri
clous is the finer-tempered steel blade.
As a rule new razor is not as profit
able as well-tempered old one, and
BARRIERS declare that the breaking in of
a razor is matter of skill as import
ant rs the training of a colt. Once
asccrtained the temper of a razor can

ssSHE."
Improbabilides Sometimes Become Real
ities-A True Woman's Fidelity.


Several works bearing unique titles, writ
ten in fascinating style, and giving evidence
of wonderful imaginative power have lately
been received by the reading public with
much popularity and pleasure.
Perhaps the most striking of them is the
book bearing the odd titleof "She." In this
the author has fairly outdOne himself in his
popular line. Ayesha and her beloved Kali
likrates are unique characters in fiction.
Ayesha. the heroine, is beautiful creature
who tasted of the essence of nature forces
at the fountain head, and became immortal
Her patient waiting for the coming OF
Kallikrates, the beloved of her youth,
whose individuality was maintained through
centuries, though the change called death
regularly occurred, only to be followed by
rebirth, is fine illustration of Woman's
fidelity.
Kallikrates to the very center of the earth,
the birthplace of all life, in order that he
may taste of Immortality, is tit climax to
the fine creation.
The question naturally suggested by this
strikingly original story is whether there Is
not somewhere in nature, potent force
whereby life may at least be temporarily
prolonged.
Mrs. Annie Miller, editor Of
'Dress," says: 'In every instance Warner s
Safe Cure has the effect to give new energy
and vitality to all my powers" Nine. Gray,
U6dCQ6E Ol OEdGOTy anu SlNoA
Syracuse, declares: Before tried physical
culture and Warmers safe cure, was
confirmed invalid. l owe much to that ex-
cellent remedy, and do not hesitate to &C
knowledge it,
Human life seems too short, though men
in former ages lived longer than those OF
the present. History tells US that they
lived moro in accordance with natures
Iaws-their mode of living was extremely
simple, and in their daily life they followed
the dictates of human intelligence.
If sickness comes, we of to-day, seek the
remedy among the artificial forces instead
of resorting to the field of nature.
If when diseases come, we would consult
nature, the chances are that we would fare
better. for we would then treat the cause OF
such disorders. Modern research has shown
that most of the commonly known diseases
owe their origin to the unhealthy state OF
the kidneys, the blood purifiers OF the sys-
TEN, and if they are kept in healthy state
by the use of Warmers safe cure, veg,
etable compound and simple production OF
nature, much of the prevailing sickness
would be happily averted. ,,c,, >,

FARM IMPLEMENTS.
What a Little Paint Properly Applied
Will Accomplish.

What a Little Paint Properly Applied
VIII Accomplish.
Few things costing so little save so
much as paint when applied to farm
implements, including wagons and
carts. A few pounds of paint proper
ly applied will preserve large num-
Der of implements from the action OF
the water during the entire season.
The wood work of mowers, tedders
and rakes should receive coat Of
paint as often as the paint gets worn
off so as to expose the wood. Before
painting, all open ,ints should be
frightened up, so when painted there
into the mortises. for decay begins in
such places. Paint should be applied
when the wood is dry, for if applied
when it is green or wet. it will not &C
complish the desired object; but if APP
piled when the wood is dry the oil
penetrates the wood and remains there
to harden and keep the water out.
Nothing on the farm is more bene-
flied by painting than the wheels of
the wagons and carts, for these are
full of mortises, and unless kept tight
they get soaked with water and soon
decay But to keep n wheel in good
order the tires must be kept tight, be-
cause the moment these are loose the
spokes loosen and open the joints, even
if well painted; therefore, before paint
ing, care should be taken to have the
tires tight enough so there will be no
loose Joints. Wheels that are kept
tight and well painted will last many
years. and be made to carry heavy
loads many thousands of miles;
while wheels that are not
kept we'll painted will soon decay
and break down. One re; son for
this is they are required to stand
both rain and sunshine. When the
roads are wet they are required to run
through mud ard water, and in dry
time to run through the dry, hot sand,
Almost every farmer has skill
enough to paint his farm implements,
and as he can do it at his leisure, he
will feel only the cost of the paint;
and as this at the present time is very
cheap, single dollars worth of paint
will go over large number Of imple-
ments. Paint now can be bought in
small cans ready mixed, and of any
color desired. 1t is nos good policy to
put paint on very thick, as by so do
ing it is very likely to peal off; nor is
it best to put on two coats within few
weeks of each other, for the same rea-
son that it is not best to apply it thick.

COLOR-BLINDNESS.
A Defect of Vision which Is Said to Be
Largely Hereditary.

A Defect of Vision Which Is Said to Be
Largely Hereditary.
The defect OF vision known rs color
blindness is very curious one. 1t
consists Of either total or partial lack
of ability to distinguish color, while
the sight may be faultless in every
other respect. When total, the sensa-
ton of color is absolutely wanting,
and the individual sees only different
shades of white and black. These
cases, however are extremely rare.
More common is partial color blind
ness, where the sensation is defective
in relation to certain colors, but not
to all. This is of three kinds-red-
blindness, green blindness and violet
blindness. Gases of the last variety
ara so seldom met with that the term
color-blindness. as commonly used,
has reference to either red-blindness
or ereen-blindness.
p r;ons whD are red-blind see all
rcd objects us a shade of gray, and the
same is true of the green blind as 10

AN ASPHALT LAKE.
The Vast Caldron of Fluid Pitch Found in
the Island of Trinidad.


THE most of the asphalt comes
from Trinidad" SAID a dealer in the
article to reporter. Trinidad, you
know, is the most southerly of the
group CT the West Indies, known as
the Windward islands, and is next to
jamaica. La Brac, the lake from
which the asphaltum is taken, has an
area of a hundred and fifty acres.
Charles Kingsley's more recent and
exact measurement reduces this area
to nincty-nine acres. This, however,
contains millions of tons of the crude
pitch, which, in its refined state,
is becoming so rapidly popular
on this continent from the inn
pcrishable nature of the pavement con-
structed from it. Asphaltum is also
found in other parts of the island.
Though called lake or lagoon. this
depot of pitch is for the most part q
solid mass, rent, however, by chasms
varying from three to thirty feet in
width, with no great depth, so that
they are traversed without much DIFF
ficulty. Here and there, wherever
there is any soil, are clumps Of trees.
The liquid portion of the lake lies on
the side nearest the sea, and only oc-
cupies few acres in extent and of I'M
known depth. The vast caldron of fluid
pitch is in q state of slow cbullitlon
and exhales strong sulphurous and
bituminous odor Philadelphia Call.

CAN'T GO BEHIND THEM.

There is great intensity of the physical
condition sometimes, and there are facts
which we cannot go behind. In illustra-
ton further of facts which settle the points
of prompt and permanent cure, the fol-
lowing cases are cited: In 1884 Mrs. Mary
K. Sheed suffered terribly with chronic
neuralgia She writes from lilo Maryland
Avenue, Washington, d. G. In the first in
stance she states II suffered terribly with
neuralgia in the face; very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders; suffered
intensely. Tried st. Jacobs Oil; had parts
well rubbed at night; in the morning all
pain gone, magically." June 10, 1887, she
writes from 22i Eleventh Street, S. W., as
follows: "Four years ago / sent you vol
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
l had been a great sufferer with neuralgia ID
my face, neck and shoulders. l obtained o
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, and after three APP
plications l was entirely relieved from all
pain, and from that time to the present l
have never had return. The effect was
miraculous" Again, Feb 6, 1887, Mr.. r.
G. Troll, st. Louis, Mo-, writes: I'm March,
1881, 1 suffered terribly with neuralgia; had
suffered nearly three years: Applied St.
Jacobs Oil at SIS A. NJ. at $40 took the
rag off; at 9 A. NJ. went to work. In less
than five minutes after that the pain was
gone. The one application cured me. Have
not had return of it since" Mr.. E. w.
Spangler, York, Pa, June II, 1887, writes /:
"Years ago had neuralgia; am not subject 10
it now. The cure by the use of St Jacobs
Oil was permanent. There has been no re-
currence of the painful atfiiction." Chas.
W. Law, Jr., Pottstown, Pa, April 10, 1887,
writes: 'Was troubled for years with neu-
ralgia in neck and head. Tried ST. Jacobs
Oil; had tried different kinds Of remedies
without effect. One bottle of the former did the
business. No return of pain and aches" In
almost every instance the reports are the same.
